Hi, I think you are wrong about this Abercrombie being based on a Heuer ref. 5408 ATT. All the chronos showed on that old catalogue page is 10.5 linge movement. This is the super rare mini Heuer chronographs powered by the little sized Valjoux 69. Often reffered to as a lady chronograph.
Look how the chrono register is placed. They are placed much closer to the center on the small 10,5 linge Valjoux 69 chronographs.
Anyway the Abercrombie is a very nice watch and looks like a very close relative of the Heuers of the same period. I think it has a Landeron 13 movement like many of the early Heuers.
Just my 2 cents.
Regards
Jarl
